+/* QUESTION:
+You are given N number of books. Every ith book has pages[i] number of pages. 
+You have to allocate books to M number of students. There can be many ways or permutations to do so. 
+In each permutation, one of the M students will be allocated the maximum number of pages.
+Out of all these permutations, the task is to find that particular permutation in which the maximum number of pages allocated to a student is minimum of those in all the other permutations and print this minimum value.
+Each book will be allocated to exactly one student. Each student has to be allocated at least one book. */

+Input:

+Output:
+113
+
+Explanation: 
+Allocation can be done in following ways:
+{12} and {34, 67, 90} Maximum Pages = 191
+{12, 34} and {67, 90} Maximum Pages = 157
+{12, 34, 67} and {90}  Maximum Pages =113
+Therefore, the minimum of these cases is 
+113, which is selected as the output.
